St. Aubin is located on Juno beach, one of the D-Day landing beaches
between Bayeux and Ouistreham (the ferry port of Caen). It is a popular
resort, which in summer welcomes many visitors attracted by the sandy
beach, restaurants, hotels, campsites and other facilities of the area.

The twinning relationship between the two communities was established in
1986 and has flourished since. The aim of the Association is to promote
friendship and links between individuals, families, schools, groups and
clubs. One objective is to encourage and support young people as
members of the Association to make friends with young St. Aubinais.

A number of factors have contributed to the continuing success of the
twinning relationship between Emsworth and St. Aubin:

- both are conveniently located 15 minutes from ferry ports

- inexpensive fares for foot passengers (particularly at group rate)

- friendly and very hospitable hosts and other residents of St. Aubin

- effective committee with support of Association membership.

Emsworth is twinned with St. Aubin-sur-Mer, an attractive small seaside town on the Côte de
Nacre in the Calvados 'département' of Normandy. Both communities have developed from old
fishing villages, particularly renowned for their seafood.
